Chapter 9
“Your Olivia is a woman now.”
Eric nearly dropped his cup of coffee. “Excuse me?”
Pam rolled her eyes. “Olivia has received her womanly gift. Although, she’ll soon find out it’s more of a curse. That is the only time out of the month I hate being a female.”
Eric held up his hand, not needing her to clarify. “Why didn’t she tell me that?”
“Why do you think? This isn’t the sort of thing a young girl feels comfortable discussing with her father. You really need to find a mother for those girls, there’s only so much I can do.”
“Thanks, Pam, I’ll keep that in mind,” he muttered, running his fingers through his hair. “Look, Sookie will be here soon, and she’s really nervous about meeting you. Don’t do anything to scare her away, you got it? This woman means a lot to me. She’s even considering moving here, I doubt anyone else would make such a sacrifice for someone they just met. I wouldn’t want her to end up regretting that decision.”
Pam waved a dismissive hand in the air. “You worry too much, dear brother. I will be on my best behavior.”
“Why does that not make me feel better? I know how you’ve been with the women in my life before, but this one is different. The girls already love her, just think how disappointed they would be if you did something to screw this up.”
“You can’t always use your offspring to make me feel guilty, Eric. I won’t do anything to terrorize her; you have my word on that. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you so happy. I would never want to ruin that for you,” she explained.
For some reason, he actually believed her.
Sookie arrived minutes later, and Eric let her into the apartment, leading her over to the living room where Pam was waiting.
She took in a deep breath as the other woman looked her over, already feeling intimidated under her stare. Pam was tall, blonde, and completely gorgeous. If she wasn’t Eric’s sister, Sookie would really feel concerned. “Hi, I’m Sookie Stackhouse; it’s nice to meet you.”
Pam ignored her outstretched hand, giving her a grin instead. “Well, aren’t you sweet? I see why my brother is so taken with you.”
Sookie lowered her hand, wiping her sweaty palm on her jeans.
Eric pulled Pam away when he caught his sister gazing intently at Sookie’s breasts, licking her lips in the process. “I told you not to scare her. You look like you wanted to eat her alive. This one is off limits, Pamela. Don’t even think about hitting on her,” he said sternly. “I want her to be comfortable here, especially if she plans on moving in.”
Pam knew Eric meant business when he used her full name. “Fine, spoil all my fun. I just wanted to see if the little Southern Belle could handle it.” She turned back to Sookie, gracing her with a smile. “So, I hear you plan on living here. I don’t know if a Country girl such as yourself would be able to keep up with the big city life.”
“I’m pretty good at taking care of myself. Besides, it would be more than worth it,” Sookie claimed, exchanging a glance with Eric.
Pam gave her brother a look. “We’re going to need a moment.” She held her hand up before he could argue. “You should check on the little ones, I’m sure Miss Stackhouse will be just fine on her own for a few minutes. She doesn’t need a babysitter, isn’t that right?”
Sookie nodded. “I’ll be fine, Eric.”
Pam yanked her away and over to the kitchen, making sure Eric was out of earshot. “Okay, let’s just cut to the chase. This is the only family I have, and whether I show it much or not, they mean everything to me. If you’re going to be with my brother, you’re getting the little ones as well, and it better be for the long haul. I won’t have anyone else put those girls through heartache. Yes, you plan on moving here, but that doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind somewhere down the road. I can be a very nice person when you’re on my good side, but if you do anything to hurt them, you will see just how unpleasant I can be. Do we understand each other?”
Sookie gulped, but kept her head up high. “I understand, but just so you know, I would never do anything to hurt them. I’ve come to care a lot about Eric in the short time that we’ve known each other; I wouldn’t make this move for just anyone. Olivia and Emma are part of the package, and that’s definitely not a deal breaker. Trust me; I have no intention of changing my mind.”
Pam crossed her arms over her chest. “Your friends will likely talk you out of it once you return home. They might put a lot of pressure on you, and I don’t know if you’re strong enough to ignore them.”
Sookie wasn’t about to back down. “They can say whatever the hell they want, but I’m not always one to listen. It’s my life, and they’re just gonna have to accept it. I make my own decisions.”
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we?”
“I guess we will,” Sookie responded, hoping the interrogation was over. Eric was definitely not wrong about this woman.
He looked up when they came back into the living room, anxious about what Pam might have said to Sookie, but all his sister did was flash him a chilling smile.
“I like her.”
Eric sighed in relief. With Pam, that was as good as it was going to get.

“You’re really moving here?”
Sookie continued to brush Olivia’s hair, the girl actually requested that she’d be the one to do it. “That’s the plan. I know this is a lot to take in, but I won’t do anything unless it’s okay with you and your sister. Your father is very important to me, but you two are the most important women in his life. I would never want to get in the way of that.”
Olivia shrugged. “You’re good for him. He’s been alone far too long now. At least I know you’re not like those other barracudas.”
Sookie was stunned. “Where did you learn that word?” She continued before the girl could answer. “Right, Oprah, and you read a lot. I’ll have to remember that.”
“Do you promise you’ll come back?” Olivia spoke so softly that Sookie barely even heard her.
“Of course, why do you ask?”
“My mommy never came home,” she claimed.
Sookie put the brush down, caught off guard by that simple statement. “I don’t know how long I’ll be gone for, but I promise that I will come back. You have my word on that.”
“What if the douche tries to talk you into staying?”
Sookie cracked a smile, but quickly shook it away. “Believe me, if anyone can’t convince me to stay in Bon Temps, it would be him. If I never see that man again it’ll be too soon. All I would have to think about is you girls and your father, that’s enough to encourage me that I’m making the right choice.”
“Do you love my daddy?” she asked quietly.
Sookie was once again caught off guard, not sure what to say. “I care about him very much, but I think it’s too soon to tell. When it happens, he should be the first one to know.”
That seemed to be enough for Olivia, a smile forming on her face. “Did Aunt Pam give you the third degree? Her bark is usually worse than her bite. Just call her Pammy next time she’s getting on your case, she can’t stand that name.”
Sookie laughed. “I’m trying to stay on her good side right now, but I will definitely keep that in mind. We don’t know each other well enough yet.”
Emma came into the room then, holding out a hairbrush of her own, wanting the same treatment after seeing how shiny her sister’s hair was.
Sookie smiled, taking the brush from the little girl and picking her up, getting her situated on the bed.
Eric stood in the doorway, the girls oblivious to him being there. He certainly made the right decision where this woman was concerned.
